The jump is further confirmation that the home buying season isn't following the usual seasonal trend this year, said George Ratiu, Realtor.com's senior economist. "Part of this shift can be attributed to a delayed spring home buying season due to lockdowns and buyers who are determined to lock in a historically low rate, despite rising prices and highly limited inventory," Ratiu said.
